Saints Look for Two in a Row vs Falcons Sunday

Posted by Matt Loede on October 19th, 2007 filed in News

Both the Falcons and Saints will be going for their second victory of the season when they meet in Week Seven for an NFC South tilt at the Superdome.  The Saints picked up their first win of the year 28-17 last week over the Seattle Seahawks.  Drew Brees threw for 246 yards and two touchdowns and Reggie Bush piled up 141 yards of total offense for New Orleans.  The Falcons were decimated 31-10 by the New York Giants on Monday night football.  All of Atlanta’s offense came in the first quarter, with a 67-yard touchdown run from Jerious Norwood and a 47-yard field goal from Morten Anderson.  Joey Harrington continued to struggle, completing just 18-of-39 passes for 209 yards with an interception, so the Falcons will turn to Byron Leftwich for the rest of the year.  Leftwich, who was released by Jacksonville before the start of the season, signed as a free agent following Week Two.  The Saints swept both meetings between the two teams last season.
